While my brother Harley was decapitating poor Little Teddy, I did not participate.

Yesterday, I stayed home to care for my daughter who has the flu. While she was lounging on the couch and I was sitting back in the chair we witnessed a very unfortunate series of events for poor Little Teddy.
Little Teddy is one of my youngest daughter, Willow’s, toys. She left Little Teddy on the love seat and our mischievous cat Harley decided to have a ball with Teddy.
I don’t think Little Teddy saw it coming cause at first he played dead hoping that Harley would quickly lose interest and chase hairbands across the floor.
But Harley wasn’t buying the dead act. He was focused …. and determined. You see, he wanted to have a ball, not with Little Teddy, but with Little Teddy’s head.
Poor Little Teddy! He had an Unfortunate Day.
I love rock-a-billy, country, blues and bluegrass music. I grew up with Saturday night Bluegrass ‘musicals’ at my grandparents farm and was surrounded by this music at an early age. I frequently look for good tunes on the net ’cause in Melbourne I can’t listen to a country radio station. I’m a big Gourds fan and stumbled upon this YouTube of their cover of Snoop Dog’s Gin and Juice single. I’d love to see these guys live someday.
This is a great live of this cover. They slip into a little Cheap Trick “surrender” in the middle of song. You can click the link to get the second part of the live Gin and Juice video.
So what happens when you get a bored photographer wandering through the house ….
We had a really crazy weekend capped off by an all day party on Sunday for an Iranian PhD student and her family (hubby and little girl) who have just arrived in Australia to live. We did the traditional Aussi BBQ thing. Unfortunately, I didn’t lug the camera along on the event. But, along came Sunday night and I realised that I hadn’t had an opportunity to take many photos this weekend. The HORROR!
I pulled out my camera and drifted around the house at about midnight. I noticed Mamma Planet had left her tea cup on her desk. The bright red cup with semi dried tea bag looked just too interesting to pass up. I went in for the photo kill on macro mode. Here’s the image I bagged.
Hope you’ve had a great weekend too!
